. The ordinary Berlin criminal attaches
himself to a specially, and rarely de-
parts from it. For instance, a pick
pocket would no more think of break
Ing into a house than he would Of
stealth linen from a garrett OF pilfering
from a cart.
Crime being thus concentrated great
ability is required on the part Of the
personal thief. This calls for q CORE
spending amount of cIeverness in the
police. and accordingly specialists are
employed One functuary viii occupy
himself entirely with cases Of house
breaking, another with thefts from
furnished apartments and night lodging
houses, q third with swindlers and
gamblers, and fourth with bullies, etc,
The same diversion has been followed
in the Criminal Album, which I was
able to examine, and which naturally is
very interesting. Its usefulness is
proved In this way. When a person
comes to complain of having been
robbed he is shown the photographs Of
thieves specially addicted to the partic-
ular form OF robbery.
1t often happens, however, that when
the individual " no has been identified
from his photograph is arrested the
prosecutor is unable to clearly reeog-
nize him Very curious IS that portion
Of the album devoted to the wretched
characters who live by eztortion, Of
whom there are no fewer than a
thousand in Berlin. The police toler-
ate a dozen or so of taverns or restau-
rants, the clients Of which consist en-
tirely Of thieves and bullies. These
places are situated at the extremities of
tie town. The police of safety at Der
; lin employs a rather large lumber Of
mformers, who are recruited from the
criminal classes. London ErchdnQe

A Leaf from a ,i1Dane5e Novel.

Novels and stOry-bOoks in Japan are
almost as numerous as in our country.
The people are diIigent readers, and
circulating libraries are found in every
town and city. Men go around with
piles of novels on their backs. Stop
ping at the houses of customers, they
leave new parts of a series of fresh
books and collect the old ones.
Thus a reader viii week by week re-
ceive a new pamphlet fresh from the
printers; and TO finish one book Will be
obliged to peruse fifty or sixty in
stallments.
Nearly all the common stories are il
Illustrated. a reader of Japanese novels
soon learns to tell the characters by the
faces and garb, for these faces are full
of expression and faithfully portrayed.
For instance, in the complaining pic
tur5 we know that the old woman IS
scOlding her husband, who is q mean,
wicked, or cruel old rascal See how
grumpy he looks! He has probably
failed In some scheme Of wickedness,
and the old crOne Is chatting him for it,
or urging him to try again.
Yet to make recognition certain the
artist usually marks each character by
giving his name or the first syllable or
initial of it. This IS put in a small cir
Gle on his sleeve. No matter how many
persons are described by a writer, the
reader easily recognizes the hero. the
william and the people Of lesser note.

30 q - WORLD.,,


Tie Tremendous Heights Which Rlfssfs
Scaled wa, an AFlsty.-
The Russians have fairly established
themselves on one of the plateaus Of
the Pamir, that greatest protuberance
of the world, which the Chinese said a
thousand years ago was midway be-
tween Heaven and earth, and which the
natives call "the roof of the world.
Twenty years ago, says writer in the
Now York Sun, about all we knew
of the Pamir was contained in a single
chapter Of Marco Polo's travels. The
remarkable facts presented in this
chapter were cited for many years as
specimens Of the fables spun by this
much discredited writer. In the his
tory Of discovery no early writer has
been so brilliantly sustained by modern
researches as Marco Palo has been by the
Russian explorers who have oVerrun
the Pamir in all directions, and have
found that his picture is almost photo
graphic in its accuracy.
Polo said that the herdsmen on the
Pamir made fences Of the enormous
horns Of wild mountain sheep to incIOse
their cattle at night The Russians
have found these horns nearly five feet
in length, and q man could not lift II
pair Of them. Polo asserted that on
these lofty table lands he could not
make his fire burn brightly or give out
much heat, and the phenomenon, due
to the rarefaction of the air, has been
observed by all recent Pamir travellers.
He said those plains afforded the finest
pasture in the world, and that lean
beast would fatten there in ten days.
A recent writer says: "The grass of
the Pamir is so rich that a sorry horse
is here brought into condition in less
than twenty days"
These plains are diversified By low
ridges, and here and there a lofty
mountain with snOw-capped tops, rival
ing the great SUBMITS of the Himalayas.-
But from the plain where the traveller
sees them they do not appear to be
higher than our Mount Washington,
for they rest upon plateaus that are
from 10000 to 5000 feet high, and
whose mean elevation above the sea is
more than twice that of the top of
Mount Washington. This is the reason
that the mountains of the Pamir and Of
its eastern extension that walls in
Thibet on the north are not particu-
larry impressive IN appearance, though
they are among the Hottest SUBMITS
Of the world.
It is just below the Hottest Of these
Pamir plateaus, near Lake Sarallul,
that the Russians are building canton
ments for their troops and feeding
their horses on the succulent grasses
that Polo described Why they have
invaded these forbidding heights,
where no crops can ripen and no vege-
tation except grass hourishes, is
mystery that time viii doubtless make
clear. We only know that they are
within $50 miles of the Indian frontier,
aud that almost at their feet is the
Afghan state of Badakhshan, which is
more nearly allied in sympathy and in
terest to the Russian dependency Of
Bokhara than to England's protege,
the Ameer.
